HashGenerator is a universal hash generator tool that automates the generation of 14 different type of hashes or checksums. The user can directly enter, paste any text from clipboard, or drag-and-drop to generate a hash.
The program supports most of the popular hashes including the MD5 and SHA families, BASE64, CRC32, ROT13, RIPEMD, ALDER32, HAVAL, WHIRLPOOL, etc.

HashMyFiles by nirsoft offers both those options BTW. My most frequent use for hashing programs is finding duplicates. Si I'm using HashMyFiles. It also has a add to context menu option.

RapidCRC Unicode is a hashing program capable of checking and verifying the integrity of files, folders, or whole drives. The program includes process priority, ability to pause/resume analysis, job queuing, easily copy hashes to the clipboard and multi-threaded checks. If using checksum files (e.g. .sfv or .md5) for future verification, options include the ability to generate for every analyzed file, directory, or a single checksum with all hash data.
Includes direct support for CRC hashing in the filename (common for anime releases) for example: "MyFile [45DEF3A0].avi") Other algorithms range from fast to secure, including SFV(CRC32), MD5, ED2K, SHA-1/256/512 and Blake2sp.
Based on the original RapidCRC but updated with extended Unicode support.

This is currently my go-to program. I tend to add it to the "send to" menu on machines I'm currently using and it works beautifully to check one or more files. Also, the ability to insert the hash directly into the file name makes so much sense. Just drag-and-drop it into the window and instantly know if there's a problem. Great solution to the multi-step check.

I think there is something wrong with the "CRC into Filename" function. This occurs with files that lack a file extension.

MultiPar helps protect backups and transfers with error detection and recovery. The program looks at information from any number of files and folders to function as insurance against data loss. The program generates companion "PAR" files that are built from a percentage of the originals, using more space for greater protection (e.g. 10% of the original for already safe methods, 50% for frequent failures).
The program has a wide variety of customizations including format, processor usage, and various other tools available to the standard PAR format. For backups, it can also choose PAR size by available free space (e.g. saving a 3 gig file to a 4.7 gig DVD will mean generating a 1.7 gig PAR file).
Functional in Linux/Mac via WINE. The program supports multi-threading, multiple processors, can recurse subfolders, and functions with standard formats including PAR, PAR2, and (experimental) PAR3 formats.

HashMyFiles is a small utility that allows you to generate unique file identifiers (hashes) using a variety of popular checks. These can help determine if a file has been modified or corrupted, as well as help determine the file's reputation by submitting to the VirusTotal database for malware analysis.
Formats supported range form fast to secure with CRC32, MD5, SHA1/-256/-512/-384. The various hashing information can be saved to a report (text/HTML/XML/CSV/TSV) that includes name, path, dates, file size, version and other info.

Blows my mind how stagnate NirSoft's programs become, HashMyFiles still doesn't have a way to "Delete files to Recycle Bin" or similar. And all his programs are still plagued with DPI/multi-monitor issues years after reporting about them.

Hashing is a tool for creating unique hash values to identify and examine files. This allows verification, duplication analysis, and can be used for file security (via the VirusTotal service). The program supports UPPER/lower case, drag and drop, batch processing and file export for later verification.
Available hashes include commonly-used algorithms CRC32, MD5, SHA1/256/384/512 and RIPEMD160.

RekSFV is a checksum generator and verifier that can evaluate files and whole directories. When scanning, the program checks for all supported files and verifies any found checksums. The program supports drag and drop, stay-on-top, minimize to tray, shortcut keys, multiple instances, sound notification and more.
The program supports several hashing algorithms including SFV, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512.

As of v2.2.0, fHash has gone 64-bit only. The last 32-bit version is still available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/fhash/files/2.1.9/. |
Hasher is a file verification system supporting drag-and-drop, multiple hashes at one time and a log viewer to show a list of processed files. The program can save to a verification file or copy hash results to clipboard. Many compare options are available or you can run multiple instances to compare hash results side-by-side.
Note: Lite version is restricted to 100 files per hash run.
The program works with files, directories, or text, supports Unicode paths and covers most common hash formats including CRC32, MD5, SHA1. Also features the high-security SHA256/512 among others.

Now what we need is a way to generate hashes for all files
abc

Needs support for SHA-2 (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512), it's becoming more common now days. The interface is quite good though

I just wanted to let you know that your suggestions have been heard and implemented. |
IgorWare Hasher can be used to generate a checksum for a single file or verify its integrity using verification files (.sha, .md5 and .sfv) generated by many hashing programs. The program supports UTF-8 verification files and are automatically verified if found.
CRC32, MD5 and SHA-1 hashes are supported.

Works great to create/verify companion hashes for individual files. Wish there was a way to work in a batch mode. |
